Conor McGregor has made a cryptic comment following his arrest in New York

The two-weight UFC champion has not fought in the promotion since winning the lightweight belt in 2016, and was stripped of his title over the weekend due to inactivity, despite his strongly-worded objections.

However, before the promotion had the chance to make the decision official, the Irishman found himself in more hot water for an alleged attack on a bus carrying rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Three fights were pulled from the card following the incident, which allegedly involved McGregor and an entourage of an estimated 20 people crashing the event. The fights pulled from the card included one involving the Dubliner’s stable-mate Artem Lobov.

McGregor turned himself in to police and otherwise remained schtum, but he has broken his silence by posting this photo alongside a praying hands emoji.
